Google has Places API services for developers but if you want to use this API you need to pay money for usage.

Service Payment is changing for place details that you want. Some users want to know the place’s phone number, photos, or other details. Detailed information will cause you to pay more. Every request sent to Google will be registered and this fee will be deducted from you at the end of the month.

We have developed a solution to this issue and presented it to users. You can get and download Google POI Data. Very easy and enjoyable.
